Heads up: Your ATM card can be cloned

‘I am talking to bank officials, tell me your PIN number, your ATM card will be people’ and withdraw money from mutual banks. These phenomena are most common now. Many people are fooled by repeated information. Offer your account information on the phone. Fails. There has been a similar trend in the closing of the ATM card recently, as all the cases have reached here. Instead of believing the WhatsAppAwards forwards, you should learn how to use your Debit Card, how to use it, and how to use it.

‘On-line’ theft fad has increased a great deal. There has been a lot of fraud by ATM, Debit and Credit Card so far. There is not much success in catching ‘telefishing attackers’. Many people were cheated by buying this telefishing attacker online. Millions of rupees were blown away. It’s very serious. Now you have to take care of some of the rules regarding the ATM.

Do not forget that.?

  1. If you lose the ATM card, first contact the bank to block the card number.
  2. Apply in written format.
  3. If the information about the lost ATM, Debit, Credit Card is not communicated to the bank, then that card can be misused.
  4. Only after the lost ATM card has been blocked, apply for another ATM card.
  5. Do not tell anyone ATM card number or PIN number on the phone. Even the closest person
  6. Automatic ATM card handling. Even the nearest person should not give up except for an emergency.
  7. When you withdraw money at the ATM, exit the ATM if you get the instructions to complete the transaction.
  8. For missing PIN, the bank can apply in writing and get a new PIN number.
  9. Do not cloning your card anymore, so be careful not to cloning it.

What is the ATMs cloning?

 

As a convenience and security, everyone uses ATM cards It’s easy. But now all the data can be stolen by the account holder’s password. And on the basis of this information, thieves are deceiving the closing of the ATM card with the help of computer. Messages have been received on mobile phones in many cities to remove the mutual amount from their accounts. At that time, they were cheated. The complainants immediately complained to the police station. So they understood that this is the type of ATM cloning.

Today many ATM machines in many cities have Ram Bharose. Not being a security guard, the CCTV cameras being closed, all these things seem to be getting a snap to steal the thieves. It seems that this type is happening in many places.

How does cloning of ATM card work?

Many shops, petro pumps, hotels and showrooms have swapping machines for ATM or credit card payment. But often, what the thieves do is to get ‘scrmir machine’ to where the card is being placed. When the card gets to the main machine, the magnetic stripe scanner of the card is scanned.

And you’re typing a PIN to transfer. The exact pin number has a hidden camera in place. This means that the script machine is a stripe scan and the PIN number is displayed in the camera at the same time. Duplicate cards are made by imitating the magnetic stripe. Then, in any machine, it can be withdrawn if the PIN number obtained in this card and hidden camera is hidden. The climbing of the ATM card has exposed millions of rupees in many cities.

So be careful while swiping cards. Do not give your card to anyone. Bring a machine to yourself and ask them to swipe. Insert sharpness, pay attention to it.

Blue Whale Challange News Coverage:
Blue Whale challenge – The Urban Debate (August 17, 2017)

Across India, police find little connection to online suicide game but no pieces of evidence such can prove the blue-whale connection with those cases.

Media reports have blamed the computer challenge for prompting several youth to kill themselves. But the authorities are skeptical.

Blue whale conclusion
It is the same story with the “Blue Whale-linked suicides” reported from Mumbai and Delhi.

In Mumbai, a 14-year-old boy jumped to death from the terrace of a seven-floor building in Andheri East area on July 29. He had photographed himself sitting on the parapet just before jumping off and captioned it: “Soon the only thing you would be left with is a picture of me.” The death was reported in the media on July 31, as the first suspected case of Blue Whale-linked suicide in India.

While one news report claimed the boy had been playing the Blue Whale Challenge, attributing it to unidentified police sources, another quoted a friend of the victim saying almost all his friends knew he had taken up the challenge. This report went on to quote an unidentified teacher saying the boy was addicted to video games but he was not sure if Blue Whale Challenge was one of them. It also quoted unidentified school officials saying they had learned that the boy often talked about Russia over the past two years.

The police, however, contradicted these claims. “The cause of suicide is not known yet and no Blue Whale angle has emerged in our investigation,” said Pandurang Patil, senior inspector at Meghwadi Police Station who is monitoring the case. Patil, however, refused to explain how the Blue Whale angle had emerged in the first place.

In Delhi, the 19-year-old son of a former Manipur minister died after falling from the terrace of a restaurant in South Delhi’s Hauz Khas area on August 12. This death too was linked to the Blue Whale Challenge in a report published in The Times of India.

“From the preliminary investigation, it seems like a case of an accident and not suicide,” said Chinmoy Biswal, additional deputy commissioner of police. “We have registered a case under the charge of negligence causing death. We have questioned friends and acquaintances of the victim and no Blue Whale angle has emerged in our investigation so far.”

A few cases of attempted suicide in India have also been linked to the Blue Whale Challenge. One such case was reported from Indore in Madhya Pradesh. On August 10, a class 7 student tried to jump from the third floor of his school building. The 14-year-old was reportedly rescued by the physical education teacher, who was quoted in a news report as saying the boy had confessed to the principal that his suicide attempt was part of the challenge.

When Scroll.in contacted the teacher, Farooq Sheikh, he said he was not authorized to comment on the matter.

Sangeeta Poddar, the principal, said: “Our first responsibility was to save the boy. Later, we arranged for a counseling session, which was attended by the boy and his parents. It came to light that he often played games on his father’s phone. We cannot say anything beyond this as the matter is being probed by the police.”

The police said the boy “never took up the Blue Whale Challenge. “However, the boy is tech-savvy and he had known about the Blue Whale Challenge,” said Rupesh Dwivedi, additional superintendent of police in Indore. “During the investigation, it also emerged that he had come across the link to the challenge once on his father’s phone. But he never signed up for it.”

It also emerged, the police said, that the boy was extremely stressed because of some academic difficulties. The Blue Whale angle appeared because many of his friends were aware of the challenge and they raised suspicion. But it did not turn out to be so, said a senior police official who did not want to be identified.

A similar case was reported in Dehradun. In Maharashtra, a teenager who had left his home in Solapur early this month was rescued from a highway by the police. A report in Mid Day claimed he had left for Pune to execute a Blue Whale task.

Scroll.in could not independently verify the Blue Whale links in these two cases.

The Russia connection
India is not alone in reporting suicides linked to the Blue Whale Challenge. Russia is the epicenter of the phenomenon. A report on Snopes.com, which specializes in researching and fact-checking urban legends, explains how the trend was first reported by a Russian website Novaya Gazeta in May 2016. The Russian site had analyzed 130 suicides of children in the country from November 2015 to April 2016 and concluded that at least 80 of them were related to the Blue Whale Challenge. But Radio Free Europe, a broadcaster funded by the United States, investigated these claims and found that deaths across Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and other former Soviet republics had been linked to the Blue Whale Challenge without any conclusive evidence.

In July this year, Russian authorities arrested a 22-year-old man they suspected of being the ringleader of the Blue Whale Challenge after he bragged about convincing teenagers to commit suicide. He has since been jailed for three years for inciting people to kill themselves, the Daily Mail reported.

India’s response
In India, Minister for Women and Child Development Maneka Gandhi took up the matter with Home Minister Rajnath Singh and Information Technology Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad last week, asking for the removal of all links to the Blue Whale Challenge from the social media. In her letter to the two ministers, Gandhi’s said the game was believed to have persuaded some 100 children and young adults to kill themselves in the United States, China and elsewhere, PTI reported.

On August 15, according to PTI, the Centre ordered Google, Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Microsoft and Yahoo to remove the Blue Whale Challenge from their platforms.

Twin suicides in Kerala
Two suicides most closely linked to the Blue Whale Challenge occurred in Kerala, one in Kannur district on May 19 and the other in the capital Thiruvananthapuram on July 27.

The young man who killed himself on May 19 was MK Sawant, 22, who had freshly graduated from an Industrial Training Institute. The other was Class 11 student named Manoj Chandran. Both hang them at home. Their parents have told the police they fell victim to the Blue Whale challenge.

Chandran’s mother, Anu, first raised the Blue Whale angle with the police on August 16, 20 days after her son’s death. She claimed she did so after being prodded by a friend who explained the threat posed by the challenge. Sawant’s mother, Sakhee, raised this concern almost three months after her son’s death, after hearing about Chandran’s case.

The police, however, have not been able to establish any connection between the suicides and the Blue Whale Challenge so far, nor have the parents been able to help the police with any evidence.

Anu said her son had once told her about a popular adventure game called Blue Whale, which would either drive people insane or lead them to suicide. That was in November 2016. “I asked him not to play that game,” she said. “I noticed many behavioral changes in him after December. But I did not take them seriously.”

As listed by his mother, the behavioral changes included Chandran refusing to study any further, wanting to tour India on a motorbike, and made late night visits to the beach and a cemetery.

Asked why she did not complain about Blue Whale Challenge immediately after her son’s death, she said, “I opened his mobile many days after his death. I did not believe when he told me that he visited cemetery and beaches at night. But I was shocked to see the videos on his mobile. Then I could easily establish the fact that he took the Blue Whale challenge.”

She added: “I approached the police after being prodded by a friend, who told me that Blue Whale Challenge would claim more lives in Kerala if I didn’t open up.”

Anu said she had tried to persuade Chandran to see a psychiatrist but he refused. She claimed she once saw the letters “ABI” cut into her son’s forearm with a sharp object and blood oozing from the injury. A report in The Times of India, however, quoted the station house officer of Vilappilsala police station as saying that the boy’s post-mortem did not reveal any signs of injury.

According to Sakhee, her son was addicted to video games and stayed up till late at night. She was convinced about the Blue Whale link after hearing of Chandran’s case, she said.

Sawant too had shown behavioral problems after passing class 10, she said. He once went missing for 10 days when he was studying in in Thalassery and had attempted suicide twice, in 2016 and 2017. “Sawant was being treated for depression for the past four years,” said Dr. Vineetha Tom, a psychiatrist at Christu Raj Hospital.

The police, however, have attributed Sawant’s suicide to a failed love affair.

Kannur district police chief Siva Vikram, who is probing Sawant’s death, said they have not found substantial proof to link the suicide to the Blue Whale Challenge.

K Anil Kumar, who recently retired as Assistant Commandant of Cyberdom, a technological research and development center of the Kerala Police, recommended a cautious approach before making any conclusions about the Blue Whale Challenge. “I think these are just rumors,” he added. “There were many inconsistencies in the complaints by the parents of the dead youngsters. Let the police complete the inquiry.”

Writing a Suicide Note on Social Media?

Filmmaker Atul Thakir has committed suicide several months ago, suicidal notes posted on Facebook on suicides. Nitin Shirke, who worked in IBN Lokmat, committed suicide. He even posted his suicide note on Facebook. The mind is disturbed by both incidents. Suicide suicides can be strong, now we do not have any ram in life, by speaking to someone, taking away the path from it and taking life for granted is not the way to feel it is all about modern survival. The reason for the suicide of both these extremely unfortunate incidents is a different issue but it is necessary to find out the mentality of putting suicides on social media as a social media researcher, bringing the thoughts of suicide in their heart and reaching the world through social media. They also need to understand the mentality of those who do not like such suicide notes and the lack of sensitive sensitivity. Because this trend is spreading around the world. Behind the video of suicide, whether it is viral on YouTube or as a suicide note status. The extent of suicides is increasing but the social media in which it has not been able to ignore.

Social media is an open platform. The need of this medium is in your mind what is going on at all times, the feeling of emotions emerging in your mind that it should be reported to the social media immediately. In this need, the meaning of this medium and human emotions. The expansion of the social media is huge. Their viral value is a storm. This medium is of course used for reaching many people. Hrithik Roshan used social media to end his marriage. The same people are doing homicides for suicide. When the feeling of suicide is really high, then there is a sense of great disappointment, anger, deceit in the mind. All the darkness is crowded with dark emotions. It is necessary that the world should know about the reason of our suicide decision. This requirement has become more intense due to social media. At the same time, we should also feel inclined to bring the real face to the face of those who came to us for this time. Whoever has harassed you, whoever has been cheated, must be subjected strictly, he has feelings that he / she should not be released. That is why the suicide note is inserted with details and names. A mental illness named ‘Facebook Depression’ is now underwriting psychologists. In the same way, as a suicide victim, Facebook uses Facebook for suicide notes as well, experts believe in the use of Facebook’s excessive use of suicide.

People have been distracting people from each other through the means of creating people to connect with each other. It is a very serious matter for people who have thousands of friends around the world to talk about their own frustration. It’s a very serious thing to know about exactly what you’re missing out on social media. Depression is our biggest problem today. For the same reason, WHO has dreaded this year to talk about depression, to fight depression. It is dangerous to be completely helpless about what is going on in our mind. We know that suicide is not an answer to any question, yet men commit suicide and the same proportion is rising.

Then, the question remains, can we stop people from using those social media to commit suicide? As junk food can no longer be eradicated from life, it is impossible to remove social media as well. But can we use this more effective medium? According to some experts, the posting of suicide thoughts can be used to prevent people from suicides.

According to QntFy, CEO of Health Analysts Company, in the online world people can collect information about how they communicate with each other, and by applying some trends, it can reach people thinking of suicide. Human beings communicate online, using technology to predict how they are their personality. It is used by political parties from all brands. Neuro Marketing is developing this area rapidly. All of this is being used as a complementary capitalist system. But scientists believe that all these modern technologies can be used to evacuate people who have lost their hopes, using the developed technologies of technology.

What can you do with users?

Social media should also be taught to give a real time when struggling to stay in touch with each other. There is a life beyond social media, and it should be struggling to enrich it with MONEY. And most importantly, you should keep a close eye on what you do and what you do while posting live, love, sad, wow. Each post should read Lyric and similar emoticons, it is not possible to write on each post. If you do not understand how to react to a post, then nothing can be done, but it is pure nonsense to bring in suicide note and a person’s past post. Often we do not even realize what we are doing to those who bring such posts. There are also many types of habits. When we are on social media, we should consider such habits. And they have to be changed. This medium is misleading, and therefore it requires a little awareness when using it.

WannaCry leveraged a vulnerability in Windows OS, first discovered by the NSA, and then publicly revealed to the world by the Shadow Brokers.

In the first few hours, 200,000 machines were infected. Big organizations such as Renault or the NHS were struck and crippled by the attack.
